Invisalign Treatment in Edina, MN

Straighten Your Teeth Discreetly with Invisalign

WHY CHOOSE INVISALIGN®?

One of the more common concerns people often have about dental braces is the look of metal on their smile. Especially for adults, the idea of wearing unattractive metal braces can seem discouraging and even unprofessional. Invisalign® clear aligners are the virtually invisible alternative to metal braces for adults and teens.

Invisalign® was designed to correct the same dental issues as traditional metal braces. The added benefit: Invisalign® trays are almost invisible to the eye and can be removed at will.

Invisalign® has the power to correct:

When there is too little space for the teeth to align and grow, teeth overcrowding can occur. Not only is this not aesthetically appealing, it can also cause tooth decay and an increased chance of gum disease.

This can be due to missing teeth or because the jaw grew abnormally.

One of the more common bite problems, overbite occurs when the upper teeth project further than—or completely cover—the lower teeth.

A crossbite occurs when one or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. Uneven wear from this can lead to bone erosion and gum disease.

The inverse of the overbite, this occurs when the lower teeth project further than the upper teeth. Eventually, jaw pain and TMJ can occur.

INVISALIGN® TREATMENT PROCESS

IN-OFFICE CONSULTATION

Before deciding if Invisalign® is right for you, Dr. Marwa will evaluate your needs to determine if you are a candidate for this treatment.

TREATMENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT

Once Dr. Marwa decides you are a candidate for the treatment, she will use a digital scanner to create 3D images of your teeth. A precise treatment plan will then be developed for you, including the time frame.

TREATMENT BEGINS

Made from the Invisalign® SmartTrack® material, your customized clear aligners will be finally fitted to your teeth at an in-office appointment. Your dentist will walk you through the treatment plan again and inform you of how many hours each day you will be required to wear your aligners.

PROGRESS TRACKING & AFTER CARE

Over time, your teeth will gradually shift into place as you wear your aligners. You and your Mint doctor will meet every few weeks to assess your progress. Once the Invisalign® treatment process is over, we’ll then fit you with a customized retainer and talk with you about post-aligner care.
